Lincoln at the War Department..

From "Recollections OF Secretary
Stanton" by a clerk OF the war de-
partment, in the March Century, we
quote as follows: I'm the days OF
which / write, Mr.. Lincoln was a par
~ticularly woe-begone figure. 1t vas
one of those periods of war when the
whole situation, military, financial
and political, was one OF almost I'M
relieved blackness. He spent hours
at u TIME shut up with Mr.. Stanton,
all business and speech mainly being
put aside, SO far as outsiders could
Judge, while these lonely communions
lasted. Was it not the gloomy au-
tumn days of 1864, that the fearful
secretary had in mind when he
spoke those pathetic words as b took
the hand OF the just expired president:
tAh, dear friend! there is none now to
do me justice; none to tell the world
OF the anxious hours we have spent
together Even before the autumn
had well set in Mr.. Lincoln had began
to wrap himself in the familiar plaid
shawl, and, with his hat well pulled
down in front, he would scurry along
the halls OF the war department. and
into the retiring-room ofthe secretary,
noticing and speaking to nobody
At times he would sit in the retiring
room with the door open between that
and the apartment in which the Secre-
tary walking about, as was his wont,
was ~transacting business with the de-
partmental officers and clerks or
visitors, prolonging his course, every
few minutes, into the adjacent room
to hold converse with his chief. It
was an interesting and a pleasant
sight, that oil Mr.. Lincoln seated with
one long leg crossed upon the other,
his head q little peaked, and his face
lie up by the animation Of talking or
listening, while Mr.. Stanton would
stand sidewise to him, with one hand
resting lightly ON the back OF a chair
in the brief intervals of that everlast-
ing occupation of wiping his spectacles.
But II, while in such proximity, Mr.
Lincoln should happen to rise to his
feet, farewell to the picturesqueness 81
the scene, for the sticking difference in
height and girth at ono suggested tho
